Belated Labor Day Post

 

Well, I know it's not Labor Day anymore, but our power was out, so I'm posting this today…along with the follow-up from the next day.

 

HaPpY LaBOr DaY!!
(This is not as good as my dear uncle's poetry, but I tried)


Go ahead, eat those dogs and burgers,
scarf the potato chips
finish the onion dips...

Try not to burn down
the forest in your back yard...
We hope that
it won't be too hard!

Labors aplenty await us all,
from school starting
to the first day of Fall

Up to Halloween
and then to Gratitude,
when starts the holiday
shopping attitude!

We'll have a New Year,
we'll think it went fast,
we'll look at our labors
and days that have passed.

But today we eat and celebrate
the fruits of our work
the joys of the summer
and each little perk.

Happy Labor Day All!
